Last year the Cali masters were both instructors and inspiration. Thanks to Double JJ, Hodge, TMB, ABM, Wheezer, Dirtyd and many others, I set out to grow organic trees in the PNW....just to see if it could be done. While these aren't close to Cali quality...here's my tribute grow! :-)

Had to start under lights very early, and will bring them into a glass room with lights (and 15 foot ceilings, lol) to finish, but thanks to you guys, I did it once! Tall lanky ones are Blue Dream. Bushes on each side are Chem 4, Pure Kush, Super Skunk, and Strawberry Diesel. Slightly under our legal limit...not enough room.

Double JJ was right. The longer they're out, the more chances for problems. Went to school on powdery mildew, and can't say enough about Serenade. No bugs. Place has been organic since I built it, so beneficial insects prevail. Slugs are usually dispatched by ducks, but this year I used organic Sluggo.

Currently at a near record 48 days without rain, so the cover is in the background. Will put it over when the forecast changes and keep them outdoors as long as temperatures are good. Built in a height adjustment of 18", but height may push me to electricity before weather! (Oh, what a problem to have. :)

So, even though the mojo and magic that taught me so much has been dialed down by all the bad energy, hope you guys spot this and know I'm so appreciate all I learned from you. It was a lot of work, the Mold Wars haven't started yet, but it was FUN! Thanks so much for all your kindness and great advice. MaxSea forever! cheers, mg

I see you didn't end up in either B'ham or E'burg? E'burg would be the ideal greenhouse grow location. Sadly, the ranch were I lived was one of the many places lost in the fires this season. Another great memory "up in smoke. :-(

It's my favorite. Best ever for arthritis pain, and a great daytime med. Because I started so early, was able to pass many clones forward to other patients, and two unrelated folks who grew out the Strawberry Diesel under lights are raving about it. Looking forward to comparing the two.

Was told a few months into the grow I should never try to grow anything with Diesel in the name outdoors in the PNW. Absolutely true, but seems to be a great indoor strain. Our record breaking sun saved it from an early trip to the compost pile and the final outcome is still up for grabs.
